I have been slacking in a big way at stepping up and blogging for DBusiness.com, but it has been a little hectic of late. I say that same thing every year right after Thanksgiving. The hunting season is almost over, and soon I will be an insanely attentive, intense leader once again, and tasks like pumping out a blog will be easier for me. In the fall, I am a hard core bow hunter and I kind of go a little off the grid other then trying to handle being CEO of our Internet business, which I admittedly do a fair job at best during the rut (period where breeding is occurring among white tailed deer).

Nearby, we overheard a gentleman complaining that he had just been issued a ticket for doing 8 mph over the speed limit. At that moment I thought it didn’t make much sense. The man went on to say that he was going to fight it in court. The whole issue seemed like a waste of everyone’s time and money. There has to be a better way for the state to gain revenue from tickets in a quick fashion without having to compromise someone’s driving record for a minimal speeding violation. Plus, it clogs up time in the courts.
Later that night, while I was restlessly trying to sleep, it hit me like a ton of bricks: Why not let the police “make the ...
